I haven't stepped into the Emacs or Vim world yet (hopefully this year as I ditch Windows as my daily driver). Currently I just run VSCodium
What is VSCodium?
In their own words:
"binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing"
https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium
or alternatively:
"VSCodium is a community-driven, freely-licensed binary distribution of Microsoft’s editor VS Code."
